Corner of the Ocean, A

Synopsis:
"I was much too far out all my life, and not waving but drowning " Stevie Smith . When a man mysteriously goes missing in a diving accident, reports of his disappearance ripple through the lives of four women in their different parts of the world. . .immersed in physical theatre, a cappella singing, puppetry and sublime visual imagery, this funny and touching tale looks at the frantic absurdity of trying to carve out a stable place for ourselves in a continuously fluctuating world. A Corner of the Ocean takes a darkly, comic look at our everyday struggles to keep a head above water.

Longwave

Synopsis:
A sensitive evocation of the nature of companionship, and so by extension community, Longwave pits two scientists together in a shack somewhere in a post apocalyptic world, where they carry out experiments with just their radio and each other for company. In their isolated existence, living in such close proximity, the nuances of their individual characters gradually emerge to reveal the basic nature of human communication, interaction and tolerance within a community. Performed entirely without words, Longwave is a seductively bleak comedy with a tender heart.

O No!

Synopsis:
When John Lennon fell in love with Yoko Ono the world was shocked. When John and Yoko claimed that their love was politics and art, the world squirmed. When Lennon was assassinated the world mourned. Following the success of CPT-developed 2013 smash Beating McEnroe, Jamie Wood returns with a work-in-progress of his new show. Playing amongst the enigmatic instructions of Yoko Ono's artworks, in the shadow of Lennon's death, O No! is a psychedelic ride, a wonky homage to the woman damned for destroying the Beatles. A show about reckless optimism, high art and what we might yet have to learn from the hippies.
